- Installation hardware & gaskets are typically reused or sourced separately (see recommended Cummins components above).
Install Notes
- Always verify part number and application by VIN (automotive) or ESN (industrial) before installation.
- Inspect the pickup tube, O-rings, and pan for damage or debris; clean or replace as needed.
- Prime the oil system per Cummins service procedures and monitor oil pressure on first startup.
- After any major oil-system service, change oil and filter again after the initial heat cycle if contamination was present.
FAQ
WILL THIS CUMMINS 5291050 OIL PUMP FIT MY 2003–2018 RAM?
In many cases yes—5291050 is an OEM oil pump used across 2003–2007 5.9L ISB and 2007.5–2018 6.7L ISB Ram applications. Because there are calibration and ESN-based variations, we strongly recommend confirming by VIN (truck) or ESN (engine tag) before ordering.
IS THIS A GENUINE CUMMINS PART OR AFTERMARKET?
This listing is for an authentic Cummins 5291050 OEM lubricating oil pump. You get OE casting quality, gear geometry, and clearances designed specifically for ISB/QSB 6.7 and related 5.9L ISB engines.
WHAT PART NUMBERS DOES 5291050 CROSS TO?
Common industry cross-references include Cummins 4897481, 4988801, 3947308, 3957266, 3973398, 3971544, 4939588 and Mopar 68489379AA. For best accuracy, use 5291050 as the primary Cummins part number and verify against your ESN.
WHEN SHOULD I REPLACE THE OIL PUMP?
Replace the pump if you have low oil pressure concerns verified with a mechanical gauge, during an engine rebuild, after bearing or rotating assembly failure, or when contamination (metal, debris) has circulated through the oil system.
WHAT OTHER PARTS SHOULD I REPLACE WHILE I’M THERE?
It’s smart to pair a new pump with a clean or new oil cooler, fresh cooler gaskets, a good oil filter head, and a new pan gasket. CPP Diesel stocks genuine Cummins components like 5289557 (filter housing), 3975818 (oil cooler), 3977913 (cooler gasket set), 5522189 and 4337615 (oil pan gaskets), plus 4376091 (lower gasket kit) for complete bottom-end refreshes.
DOES THIS PUMP CHANGE OIL PRESSURE COMPARED TO STOCK?
Being an OEM replacement, this pump is designed to restore factory-spec pressure and volume, not raise it beyond Cummins design targets. If your old pump or bearings were worn, you will typically see a more stable oil pressure trace with a fresh genuine pump and clean bearing clearances.
